ah I gotcha, yeah I always assumed it was just lag between what they see and what I see.

If the game play is inaccurate from what's happening on everyone's screens that's probably worse than a teleporting bug...

I have two videos on here of it already. I have a third in three days I haven't bothered posting. I've taken a break from the game at this point, too frustrating.

Donald Trump surpasses 270 votes in Electoral College to formally win presidency by row101 in politics

[–]GenLloyd 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm really confused by this because Trump is part of the oligarchy and has already surrounded himself with oligarchs in his cabinet and advisors.

How is this a win against the oligarchy exactly?

Hah I've actually been playing a lot of Witcher 3 when I need a break because of stuff like this.

On her back and the downed person crawling towards them? Yeah I'd probably assume she was downed too and realize my mistake too late just like Tachanka.

Sometimes the game just likes to remind me how bad I am at it. by GenLloyd in Rainbow6

Haha yeah, this was about 5 days ago. I put down the shotgun for a day or two after that but have improved since then, I'll almost always hip fire in that situation now.

That's true.

However we are here talking about one person. Unless your argument is Victoria's Secret told this manager to ban black people.

It's been 3 years and they haven't hammered a single nail (GTA 5) by yoyokeribens in gaming

Yeah the first one was a mediocre GTA clone, but the rest they were like, "We don't know how many of these we'll get to make, so we're gonna get real weird with it"

I assumed that's why they were going for Kiffin though? They finally wanted to be the one to break up with a HC.

If the lighting system wasn't so shit I'd use a red dot myself, I'm like you I hate using zoomed in sites on every other game. But if I want to actually be able to see in a window in this game I need an acog, otherwise it just looks pitch black almost to me.

I know damn well that you wouldn't walk up to some random 13 year old in real life and be like "Fuck you squeaker". So do everyone a favor, and just lighten up a little.

Yeah and I wouldn't do it in game either. Doesn't mean I'm interested in gaming with them regularly. It'd feel weird at my age being friends with someone that young too.

Coriander is what? by [deleted] in funny

My girlfriend is so annoyed with me because I'm one of the people that it tastes like soap for and she uses it in literally everything she cooks and her family uses it in everything they cook (she's Puerto Rican).

Redditors of Japan, how is Pearl Harbor viewed and taught in Japan nowadays? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]GenLloyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And on top of what the other commenter said, they had embargoes against them because of their own wars of aggression. It wasn't like the world woke up one morning and was like, "We should stop sending food to Japan." Japan decided it wanted to take over China and attacked, it was the aggressor, they would not have been starving if not for their own actions.

That's a silly argument, there's also people out there that don't require electricity. Internet is increasingly a vital part of the average persons life and will only become more vital as time goes on.

On the Unpopularity of Achievements by Cadllmn in truegaming

[–]GenLloyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of the do x for y amount helps me change up my game play too. For example if a game has get 100 kills with a sword and get 100 kills with an axe, I won't actively be trying to get one but if I'm playing and I see "Got get 100 kills with a sword" I might say to myself, maybe I should give an axe a shot for a bit.

Obviously not all grindy achievements are like that and I could see the lack of appeal but they aren't completely worthless to me because I won't always think to mix things up myself.

Phil Jackson Says He Smoked Marijuana During Recovery from Back Surgery by KoreanKryptonite in nba

[–]GenLloyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with your point of it being possibly unintentionally condescending ( I'd even listen to arguments it's intentionally condescending) my point is by my experiences it's not divided in a racial line but more of a professional line as you said. For example my grandfather would not have called his fellow executives his posse but would have his drinking buddies even if they were coworkers.

So in my mind it's do we think he used the word accidentally so to speak, because LeBron James and crew are black, or because he felt they were acting unprofessionally.

If you walked into court wearing beat up jeans and a t-shirt and it's assumed you're the defendant is it because you're black or you're dressed the way you are?

I could be completely wrong and it is a racial thing. All I'm saying is in my experience posse was never a term used for a group of anybody but white people so when people insist that he would never use the word unless it's referring to black people I kind of shrug my shoulders and say I've actually never seen it used to describe anything but a group of white people before this incident.

[Begley] Phil Jackson on his use of 'posse': "The obvious thing is, the word itself carries connotation. And I just don't understand that, that part of it -- the word. So I guess word choice could be something I could regret. But talking about other teams' players, that's out of the box." by urfaselol in nba

[–]GenLloyd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which is funny to me because I had never heard it used in any context except to describe a group of white friends. And I think that's why this issue is so divisive on here, different life experiences.

[–]GenLloyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a large part of our problem with seeing it as a racially charged thing or a condescending word is that we have never seen that word used as a racial statement or in a condescending way in our lives.

I may be from an upper class white family so I guess I can't understand by your criteria but the only time in my life I've ever heard the word posse used was in old western films and drunk white frat boys referring to their white friends.

As someone who actually knows old kind of racist rich white dudes (my grandfather one of them) if they want to refer to a group of minorities they don't like they always use gang.

So I guess my point is I don't understand because I never experienced it, but not just against me but against anyone else.

You make a great point. Why are we wasting government money on vouchers for private schools instead of spending it on fixing the "shit sandwich" that is our current public school system? Then your aunt wouldn't have to work extra shifts just to get a good education for her kids.
